Erratic door lock behavior. Passenger and rear driver side door will not lock or unlock consistently. The passenger side lock not locking resulted in the theft of a handgun from my vehicle. This deficiency leaves the vehicle susceptible to theft, carjacking, doors coming open on impact. Passengers, especially children are at risk of opening the vehicle door while in motion. In the event of an emergency the doors effected can not be unlocked from other than the manual latch button to aid passengers.

My concern is three door power locks have gone bad and replaced two so far. My concern is the rear doors are keyless and you cant unlock them from front. I spoke to gm and they don't see a need to recall truck. I talked to my local mechanic and gm dealership and they are seeing a lot of failed power locks on this model truck. Can I give you a what if scenario say theirs a fire in front and I cant unlock rear doors to get my children out wouldn't that be a liability issue if I couldn't get them out to save their lives.

We have had three of the power locks go out - first was front passenger, which was under warranty and covered free of charge, so was the second - the front drivers side. But, the rear passenger side went out a year later and now they will not cover it under warranty. My concern is that, having small children, I have had them locked inside the vehicle and the unlock doesn't work, so I have to climb through to access the door lock. In an event of an emergency, where time is of essence - this is a severe issue.

Passenger door lock stopped working. Only way to unlock door, is by reaching across seat and lift lock button. This is unsafe in case of an accident, where the drivers door is unable to be used for exit, and the passenger door must be used.

My husband and I stopped at lowes to pick up some items and I decided to wait in our 2006 GMC Sierra. We both opened the doors at same time and he locked the vehicle taking the keys with him. I still had my door open and was standing outside the vehicle for several minutes then decided to get back in. When the door shut it was locked and I was unable to unlock any of the doors with the outside temp being 96 degrees it didn't take long before the inside of vehicle heated up with me in there fanning myself to keep cool. Had he not come out of the store within 5 minutes (his cell phone was in the vehicle) of my getting locked inside I would have used the horn to get someone's attention. There is nothing that we could find in the manual that addresses being locked inside. I'm 62 years old and I doubt anyone would think to check on anyone other than a child left alone in a vehicle.

All of my power door locks are not working. This is a very dangerous situation when you have children in the back seat and they try to open the door while in transit. I have had the locks repaired once already while the truck was under warranty and now they are faulty again. This is not what I paid for when I chose to trust in GMC. I think a lemon law lawsuit is in order if they don't resolve this issue free of charge. GMC is risking the lives of not only my children but every other family that trusted in GMC.
